This auction is for my 1973 Corvette. It still has the original 454 engine. I bought the car from the original owner a few years ago. He told me he bought it when he came home from Vietnam.  I don't know enough about corvettes to know if it is a "survivor "  but to me it is. It is unrestored. It came out of his barn. I had to replace the tank meter in order to get it running(it was clogged up). I did some of the normal/ typical things one does to a car that had been sitting such as,: replaced the brake calipers, brake master cylinder, exhaust system(original style), had a new front bumper cover installed, re-chromed the rear bumpers. I also had to do a little work to the front head lights as the were stuck open. I installed new springs and new vacuum relays and that took care of that.The license plate bezzle is new old stock. I had some work done to the tack drive distributor. Mr. Lars Grimsrud rebuild the carb. (he's one of the best) I had a friend of mine that is a professional mechanic do some of the bigger jobs. He installed a new clutch and flywheel ring gear. He also installed a new cam, lifters, bigger valve springs and pushrods, harmonic balancer,etc. Two years ago he was supposed to pull the engine and rebuild it and he still has not. This is why I am selling the car. The plan was to put a new rotating assembly in the engine. Including dome pistons to increase the horse power.( I believe the engine is ready to be overhauled so it made sense to me to do a custom build on the original engine, so the mechanic talks me into this and then is to busy to do the job ugh)) The car has been sitting for two years  now. I did drive it around the block once last year, that was the last time it was even started. I really don't like seeing it sit and would like to pass it on to someone with the time and money to restore this car. It's a valuable car. Many experts say this year convertible big block is a great investment. See www corvetteblogger dot com/2011/06/03/c3-corvette-makes-hagertys-top-5-attainable-dream-cars   The NADA value is very high on these cars. I insured it for much more than my asking price. I just am looking to get my money back so please do not email with low offers or trades. I did find some interesting facts once I bought the car,:Only 4,943 convertibles made in 1973. Only a handful of 454s. only 1,328 Auxiliary hard tops(the cloth top needs to be replaced) This was no biggy to me as it is kept in the garage. the 454 is referred to as LS4, only 3,704 4 spds in 1973, it has tilt-tele, map light, manual steering witch is rare, most had PS. I am selling this car as is, where is, with no warranty implied or expressed.  All sales are final. I will not take the car back so please ask questions before you bid. I normally leave something out so feel free to ask questions before you bid.  Another interesting thing is the numbers on the engine block indicate that it is California emissions, but the car car sold new in NJ., Buyer is responsible for the removal of the car, I will not relaes the car until it is paid for. Please plan on transporting the car with in a week or two of the sale unless other arrangements have been made. Thank you for looking.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
